The Wing report. The owners of the
steamers Governor Coburn and FAIRY have
made arrangements by which those steamers
will run on Moosehead Lake in connection
with the trains on the Psc 4taquis Railroad.
The Governor Coburn will connect with the
up train which arrives at Greenvlle at noon,
and the Fairy with the afternoon down train.
This arrangement will prove most convenient
for travellers as it will enable them to get
more quickly to their destination and prevent
the delays that formerly occurred Trips
we're begun for the first time, Monday. The
small steamer Rebeccs formerly carried the
passengers across the Lake, and the new
line will be great improvement over the
accommodations heretofore afforded The
arrangement is an excellent one and will un.
doubleday be appreciated by travellers.
